I couldn't get that link to work, but here one set of criteria:
One or more of the following features
Pistol grip: A grip that "protrudes conspicuously" below the weapon, allowing the shooter to hold the rifle or shotgun like a pistol. Some people feel the pistol grip puts their wrist in a more comfortable position.
Forward grip: A second grip for the non-trigger hand.
Folding, telescopic, or detachable stock: The stock is the part of the gun that's held against the shoulder. A folding, telescopic, or detachable stock makes the weapon shorter so it can be stored or concealed more easily, and may allow the stock to be adjusted for different users.
Grenade launcher or rocket launcher: Attachments that allow grenades or rockets to be fired from the muzzle or a separate barrel. These can be used to fire flares, smoke rounds, or chalk rounds. Grenades that contain explosive material are expensive and heavily regulated, and must be registered with the federal government.
Barrel shroud: A ventilated covering that partially or completely encircles the barrel of a gun. This lets the shooter hold the barrel without being burned.
Threaded barrel: Threading at the tip of the barrel that allows attachments like silencers and flash suppressors to be mounted on the gun.
Flash suppressors, which reduce the chances that the shooter will be blinded by the flash in low light.
Bullet buttons: A recessed button that lets the user detach the magazine using the tip of a bullet or another small object. Since the magazine can't be released without a tool, it's considered fixed, not detachable.
Thumbhole stocks: A hole that lets the shooter put the thumb of their trigger hand through the stock. Since the grip doesn't "protrude conspicuously" below the weapon, in some states thumbhole stocks aren't considered pistol grips.
All of that died when Clinton's so-called assault weapon ban expired.
Sorry, your "definition" comes from a liberal anti-gun site.
THEY do NOT have the authority to say what an assault weapon is and is NOT.
If you want to discuss this with ANY credibility, do some research and QUIT following the liberal anti-gun rhetoric.
NO and I REPEAT NO SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON IS AN "ASSAULT" WEAPON.
Read it slowly. It has been said probably hundreds of time on this board.
It is about time people like you actually LEARN something.
Seems that an AR-15, which can fire 45 to 60 shots per minute, is fully capable of assaulting a room full of victims. What is your definition of "assault?"
The "semantics" is EXACTLY what this entire thread has been about.
People calling the AR a semi-automatic being called an assault weapon when assault weapons are FULLY auto-matic.
"call it a clip or magazine, who cares."
WE CARE, because so many want to ban certain things and SHOULD us the proper nomenclature.
If you DON'T care, why are you on here?
Whose definition? Automatic does not do it. Some definition include semi-automatics and the classical army definition requires selective fire. They also require an intermediate sized cartridge and a detachable magazine. So anything that can handle full rifle cartridges cannot be an assault rifle to some definitions.
I suggest that the whole thing is a silly semantic defense thrown up by the gunnies to avoid dealing with the issue. The antis need to coin a term for a weapon with high rate of delivery capability. Kid whacker would be good and is nicely pejorative.

Well when it comes to definitions I think Merriam Webster outranks you and the other gunnies. They say semi or auto. Now if you work for the DoD you can probably claim in your domain it is auto only though actually the term of art there is "selective" not auto. But in the wide world Merriam Webster reigns.

Merriam Webster also uses the term "designed for military use". The AR15 is not, and never was, designed for military use. It has always been meant for civilian use.
I'm sure every individual who funded that loan is being investigated.
